Sold my car and buyer isn't happy

[monotonousmum]

I sold my car at the weekend, and the buyer has messaged today to say she isn't happy.

Car is 13 years old. Only known issue is that the boot needs to be opened via remote button on the key. It's been like this for three years - and I showed her this before she took the car.

This morning I've had a text to say she's taken it to a garage and they've valued it at £900 under what she paid for it. Brakes need doing, wiper needs replacing, and apparently an electrical problem causes the boot issue.

She hasn't asked me for anything yet. Just told me she's not happy.

I've sent a polite response back to say its a good car, and she should maybe get another opinion. A dealer offered me £200 under what she paid for it last week, and it's a 13 year old car so not going to be perfect.

I offered her to test drive it, she didn't want to. She asked for a reduced price, which was agreed (slightly more than she offered, but £300 less than my asking price). The price was in line with the autotrader valuation, and similar cars for sale.

I feel bad for her if she's not happy, but I have no intention of giving her a refund or anything. AIBU?

which uk counties are you in? There are different rules In some where you could be liable x

I thought mumsnet only allowed Range Rover owners?

Caveat emptor.

Buyers remorse. Some people are fuckwits. Of course a garage is going to suggest a stupid low valuation, they like to buy cheap, tidy a car up for resale and stick on a high valuation. Unless your car was unsafe to be on the roads or an illegal ringer, your buyer has no cause for complaint. If she did not like it then she should not have bought it, and why she did not test drive it first is just plain stupid. Brakes are a normal maintenance item, and generally are straight foward to fix.
All my cars are bought second-hand and I allow for potential tyre replacement, engine service, brakes, exhaust light bulbs and steering to be looked at soon after purchase.

The main things that I will not tolerate are noisy/blowing engine, knackered clutch, dodgy gearbox, wonkiness from accident damage and big dents or nasty rust. (I usually check the history so that I do not get stuck with a car that is stolen or written off). Any car with those issues I just walk away from.
I would not ignore her, however. Express sadness at her disapointment, but you have now moved on and if she does not like the car, suggest that she just puts it up for sale, or perhaps part-exchanges it at a garage for something else.

Totally on her to test drive and have a mechanic come and check it over. It's an as is sale. She took a gamble. It's 13 years old. Block and forget about it.

YANBU - ignore her.

Those are quite typical for an old car. The boot isn't a major issue and she was made aware. Brakes don't cost that much and the wiper isn't even worth mentioning.
Perhaps next time she should buy a new car...

Caveat Empor! You told her about the faults etc and she still bought it. Block her and ignore it.

“Wiper needs replacing” 😂 write her a check for £12
